GTP w/1515/1D 4100Kv

Here is the new addition to the motor collection installed in the GTP. I slapped all 10 gauge wires on to handle the massive amount of AMPS that are going to be pulled through them to the BEAST.

I will have to say this does take the "AMP HOG" title away from the 1.5D

I'm sitting in a corner now, rocking and sucking my thumb.

All you need is a 300A ESC!

Just ran it again out in front of the house on a 4S2P A123 pack and have found the problem diff. I took the front diff apart this weekend and didn't have any missing teeth so I made all of the tolerances as tight as possible and re-assembled but tonight I found the problem....... jammed on the throttle and there is probably like 3 teeth left on the rear diff it sounds real bad. So if any of y'all want to check your diffs for weak links or just want to rebuild diffs for fun, just let me know and you can slap this motor in and tear them apart.

The 300amp ESC just show me one that isn't $800 and I'll scoop it up but after a 3 min run the RX8 had 3leds on the temp so it really wasn't that bad.....YET. I was only running a 15 tooth pinion. So Romano we need to go up to Costco and make some runs with the data logger and see how many more teeth we can get on there without blowing BrownBioSubstance up!!!

Haha yall funny is A123 batteries really that good are they lipolymer or whats the other one ? lol but what would be better handling wise the slash 4x4 made to be gtp style like Wayne setup or a OFNA one that you got.

I really don't know which one will be better I have only seen the Slash go straight when it's lowered I'm sure they both have there +/- I just prefer the bulletproof 1/8 scale chassis.

a123's can be abused like no lipo i have ever seen but that comes with a price and that is size and it's not easy to fit those batteries in most cars. Either way they both have a time and place.
